[RESOLVIDO] VRaptor - Acessando um EntityManager através de um resource ApplicationScoped

Criei uma classe ApplicationScoped que atualiza algumas coisas do site diariamente, e pra isso ela precisa acessar o banco de dados. No entanto, quando o spring tenta injetar o EntityManager nessa classe, gera a exceção abaixo:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'dailyUpdateAgent': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 1 of type [javax.persistence.EntityManager]: : Error creating bean with name 'br.com.caelum.vraptor.util.jpa.EntityManagerCreator': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerCreator': Scope 'request' is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread?

Testei fazer outra classe mais simples, applicationScoped, que tudo o que fazia era receber o EntityManager no construtor, porém deu o mesmo erro. No resto da aplicação, o manager funciona normalmente. Poderiam me ajudar?
